yes, that what GemLib is/was for and and i still want to get rid of the 
pd-gem svn part of GemLib.

yes, i guess we are totally in accordance here.

indeed.

i have (and had) no intention to question your qualifications.
sorry if i sound a bit mr.know-it-all.

please hold on.
i thought you was asking people (including me) for their opinion.
if you don't care about aberrant opinions, then please don't ask.

i was always joking about "putting the linux-kernel into the /sources 
section, since the entire linux-part of Pd-extended certainly depends on 
the kernel".
this punchline of this joke was of course, that the linux-kernel is 
rather big compared to the entire Pd-extended source-base, and that this 
  practice tends to include the entire world, which i think is a waste 
of ressources (probably a european green attitude).
i am shocked, that the punchline no longer holds: the current /source 
folder holds about 322 Megabyte (without any revisions or such) of 
sources which have absolutely nothing to do with Pd (in a sense that 
probably none of the main developers of any of the included packages 
have ever heard of Pure data)

the linux sources for 2.6.26 (with all debian patches applied) is about 
317MB...

ah i see. so it's mainly about getting Gem compiling on w32 with 
gcc/autotools.
this reminds me: sorry that i was unable to attend the mingw hack party 
on IRC; i had forgotten that i had another long-planned date...
